I was just reading an enjoyably sceptical review by Stuart Maconie of Greil Marcus' new book on The Doors. Which got me thinking about Doors records, and then I remembered that in 'Riders on the Storm', Jim M sings, presumably in all seriousness (as a sense of humour never ranked high on his list of attributes):

There's a killer on the roadHis brain is squirmin' like a toad

......which led me to ponder whether that might be the worst lyric couplet ever.

What about America's Horse With No Name? Can't recall the exact lyric but the lyricist appears to give up even the effort of continuing the narrative. Jim M did write lots of nonsense but quite enjoyably so.

Adam & Chris - having quoted that song at me I now truly believe it has to be the laziest, dumbest lyric ever. Weren't America some B-grade imitation of the awful Crosby-Steals The Cash? Whose Almost Cut My Hair should also rank up there. Or down there. Pompous singer-songwriters - the enemy!
